I must first congratulate our graduates who are receiving their diplomas today and our students who will be awarded Certificates of Merit. I wish you every success in your career and further studies. Your active contributions will be vital to the development of Hong Kong as a vibrant and prosperous society.
I propose to take this opportunity to share with you some of my thoughts about the challenges our community faces and the role of higher education in helping to meet such challenges.
It has been predicted that the 21st century will be the century of the Pacific and the centre of the world economy will shift to this region. Since Hong Kong is strategically located at the rim of the Pacific and is on its way to becoming once again an integral part of China, I think our community should look forward to meeting some very big challenges.
First and above all, we must energetically prepare ourselves for "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong". This will involve the development of an election system whereby a suitable representative government may be established. Our future government must be dedicated to maintaining our stability and prosperity and safeguarding our lift-style and our high degree of autonomy.
Second, we must improve our social structures, seeing that they conform to the principles of justice, freedom and democracy as well as the rule of law. We must ensure that human rights and human dignity will receive complete protection and the highest respect, and that each person's human potential will be given every opportunity for full development.
1 Third, we must endeavour to make Hong Kong s culture, economy and society even greater successes than they are now. Outstanding achievements in these areas will be one of the best safeguards for maintaining our economy, our democracy and our legal system over a long period of time.
Fourth, we must develop close links with the rest of China and, where possible, make an effective contribution towards the modernization of China.
Finally, we must develop closer ties with the vast Pacific region, particularly with East Asia and Southeast Asia, while not neglecting our trading relations with other parts of the world.
-1 - Higher education has many worthy goals. From now on, one of i t.s major goals in Hong Kong will be to prepare young leaders who will have the will and competence to meet the challenges described above. Our institutions of higher learning, therefore, must not be content with producing narrowly specialized professionals and tech- nicians. In addition to offering professional training, they must, through the provision of a well-designed general education programme, 1 .seek to broaden young people s horizons and vision of the world, clarify their thinking on big issues and cultivate in them a strong sense of civic and political responsibility and a firm commitment to making Hong Kong a better place to live in. To prepare themselves for shouldering civic and political responsibility in the future, i t will be highly desirable for students to pursue such general education courses as Social and Political Philosophy, Fundamentals of Political Science, Comparative Political Systems, Law and Society, etc.
In view of Hong Kong's increasingly close ties with the rest of China, it will be certainly useful for our students to learn about Chinese law, society and social thought. Students should be encouraged to learn to speak Putonghua (Mandarin). Academic staff should set a good example in this respect. It is high time, too, for tertiary institutions in Hong Kong to develop more academic exchanges with universities on the mainland. Academics and students should be encouraged to visit China to familiarize themselves with the latest developments on the mainland.
At present, Hong Kong is already an important financial and trading centre in the Pacific region. Serving as the key channel for China's foreign trade. Hong Kong has every reason to look ahead to an even greater regional role in the decades ahead. It will be conducive to this important regional status to have business executives who are not only familiar with what is going on in China, but who are also conversant with the cultures, societies and economies of the Pacific region. I propose, therefore, that our tertiary institutions give serious consideration to taking the farsighted initiative of launching area, regional and international studies, cross-cultural subjects, and the teaching of languages of East Asia and Southeast Asia.
If tertiary institutions are to be able to fulfil their mission ，in producing the young leaders we need to cope with the many problems that lie ahead, they must be given adequate resources to procure the needed facilities, to introduce relevant programmes and, also, to increase their student intake. Expansion of higher education is a necessity in a developing economy. While increased expenditure on
-2 - education is not of itself sufficient to stimulate economic growth, an inadequate supply of high-level manpower will surely prove to have a constraining effect. Nowhere is there greater need for an increased investment in higher education than in Hong Kong, which must meet not only the manpower needs of a developing economy, but also the chal- lenges brought by the advent of a new era.
After sharing with you some of my thoughts about the future of our community and the role of higher education in charting our future course, I wish to express our gratitude to the Hong Kong Government for its continued subsidy, without which our recent improvements in the College would not have been possible.
•工t is my pleasant duty to put on record our deep appreciation for all the funds, scholarships, bursaries and books donated to the College during the year under review (Appendices I and II).
I wish to single out two donations of particular significance： (a) A donation of HK$1 million from Mr. Lam Chik Ho and Dr. Lam Chik Suen to help to expand the library facilities of the College; and (b) A grant of US$48,000 from the Trustees of Lingnan University in New York, to be used over a three-year period for financing programmes of staff development, for fostering links with other institutions of higher learning, and for promoting extramural courses offered by the College.
In the academic year 1983-84, we were honoured by the visits of a great number of distinguished guests, which we "much appreciate (Appendix III).
Last but not least, I wish to express our warmest thanks to our guest of honour Mr. Michael Leung Man Kin, J.P., Director of Education (Designate), for honouring us with his presence and address- ing the gathering. I also wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Hung Hin Shiu for leading us in our prayer and for the Bible reading, and to the Ven. Cheung Shiu Kwai, M.B.E., J.P. for invoking God's blessing on this congregation and the entire College. RECRUITMENT OF STAFF AND STUDENTS
Before spiking to you about the developments in 1983-84, I am pleased to report that the College has been successful in recruit- ing high-calibre people to serve as members of our teaching and administrative staff. We begin this new academic year with Dr. Frances Lai Fung Wai serving as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Chairman of the Department of Social Sciences. She comes to us from the National University of Singapore, where she had been lecturing in political science for several years. She has been very active in doing research and participating in international conferences. Presently, she is editing a book entitled "Political and Security Dimensions in Japan- Southeast Asia Relationships".
Mr. Cheung Fook Wah has been recruited to serve as Acting Chairman of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Studies. Before getting his M.B.A. from Brunei University, Mr. Cheung had considerable experience in computing and management. Until recently, he was Principal Consultant at the Hong Kong Management Association.
Two new members have joined our administrative staff. Our new Librarian is Mrs. Eleanor Ng Yuen Ka Yu. She has worked in various public libraries and was promoted to Circulation Librarian at the Hong Kong Polytechnic shortly before she joined Lingnan. Recently she was invited to serve as Adviser to the Women's Centre Resource Library of the Hong Kong Council of Women.
Dr. Ip Po Keung has been appointed College Secretary. He studied history and philosophy of science at the University of Western Ontario in Canada and was Associate Professor of Philosophy at Tunghai University.
A chart giving the names of these and other teaching and administrative staff and their qualifications is attached as Appendix IV.
For the 1984-85 academic year, the College has attracted con- siderably more applicants for admission to Year Three (1069, which represents a 21.3% increase compared to 881 in 1983). We have also been able to attract more highly qualified students for Year One. Altogether 222 Year One students and 346 Year Three students were admitted, bringing the total full-time student enrolment to 1156 in October 1984 (Appendix V). GENERAL ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENTS
Let us now proceed to academic developments in 1983-84.
In its search for better curriculum development, the College has established new Advisory Boards for its Departments of Social Sciences, Management and Marketing. Advisory Boards for Accountancy and Computer Studies have existed since 1982-83. These Advisory Boards consist of senior academics at other tertiary institutions and rep- resentatives from professional bodies (Appendix VI).
In yet another attempt to monitor the courses in operation and enhance their effectiveness, the College has invited academics from other tertiary institutions and representatives of professional bodies to serve as External Examiners for its Diploma Examinations. This programme commenced with Accountancy Studies, Company Secretary- ship Si Administration and Music in 1982-83. Other teaching depart- ments have subsequently appointed their own External Examiners as well (Appendix VII). External Examiners have made comments and suggestions not only on the conduct of the examinations and the performance of the candidates, but also on curriculum development.
In a bid to promote scholarly research, the College supported the following research projects in 1983-84：- -"Compilation of Pronunciation and Meanings of Difficult Characters in Ancient Chinese Classes,"' by teaching staff and students of the Chinese Department. -"Pronouncing Dictionary of Frequently Used Chinese Characters in Major Dialects," by Dr. Lam Lin Sen of the Chinese Department. -"Ou-Yang Hsiu's Circle of Friends and Other Forces which Moulded His Literary Career," by Mr. Cheng Che Bun of the Chinese Depart- ment.
-"Stages of Development in Liang Tsung-tai's Literary Career," by Mr. Wong Kong Tin of the Chinese Department. -Editing, "Heaven Questioned," by Mr. Leung Kan Nang of the Chinese Department.
-Research of Important Lines in "Nineteen Ancient Poems of the Han Dynasty," by Mr. Wu Wing Chiu of the Chinese Department. -"Advertising Agencies in.Hong Kong," by Mr. Andrew Chan Chi Fai of the Marketing Department.
-"Economics Adjustments and Adaptations of the Newly Industrializing Countriesby Mr. Li Kui Wai of the Social Sciences Department. In addition, the College provided grants to enable members of staff to attend conferences and seminars and to participate in other scholarly activities. The College also supported Departments in organizing their own conferences, seminars, artd lecture projects. The College gave funds to support the publication of a book entitled "Selected Issues in Economic Development, Vol. I," edited by Mr. Li Kui Wai. For other publications of members of staff, please refer to Appendix VIII.
With regard to staff development, the College encouraged and tried to give maximum support to academic staff to obtain higher qualifications. Three members of the Department of Social Sciences have received financial assistance to study the Certificate in Education Course at the University of Hong Kong. Two members of the teaching staff have been given grants to pursue their Ph.D. studies at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Reading respectively； a third staff member has been given financial assistance for her Master of Education studies at the University of Surrey.
Our General Education Programme, introduced last year, includes courses like Art of Thinking, Appreciation of Chinese Literature, Outline of Chinese Culture, Introduction to Western Civilization, Social Ethics, Comparative Religions, General English and Academic Writing. As Hong Kong will surely undergo a fundamental political reform, consideration will be given to offering such courses as "Comparative Political Systems" and "Social and Political Philosophy", provided that the staffing problem can be solved.
As for Advanced Level studies, it is gratifying to note that the percentage of Lingnan candidates obtaining passes in two or more subjects in the 'A' Level Examination has improved over the past four years： 39.2% in 1981, 50.6% in 1982, 61.7% in 1983 and 73.5% in 1984. In 1984, the College's candidates obtained a total of 11 Grade A's, 37 Grade B's ind 79 Grade C's, and did well in the following subjects:
1 Lingnan College's Hong Kong s丨 % Subjects Pass % Pass Business Studies 89.3 66. 8 Economics 64.2 63. 7 Principles of Accounts 82.4 70. 2 Psychology 92. 3 69. 0 Sociology 75.9 63. 3 Use of English 88. 3 83. 3

Department of Management
It was a progressive and rewarding year for the Department of Management. The three-year Personnel Management course was commenced. Starting at the third year of the 2.2.1 System, it leads to the Higher and Honours Diploma of the College, and is fully aligned to the require- ments of the Hong Kong Institute of Personnel Management, which recog- nizes the Honours Diploma for exemptions from its examinations. Likewise the two- and three-year majors in "General Management" have been given recognition by the Hong Kong Management Association, which has granted exemptions to Lingnan graduates of these programmes. Our students are also accepted as student members of the Association. Discussions are being conducted with other professional bodies, including the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, in order to qain further recognition of our programmes where appropriate. The Students' Management Society was active and career talks were held with organizations such the Hong Kong Management Association and the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Members of staff also visited local schools to promote the work of the College.
Staff members of the Department of Management, assisted by colleagues from other departments, concentrated on curriculum develop- ment and teaching strategies. It is recognized that continued attention paid to these activities is crucial to the success of our programmes. The review of academic administrative.procedures withirt the Department has now been generally completed and the new arrangements implemented.
A Departmental Advisory Board was established, consisting of a well balanced membership of practising managersrepresentatives from professional bodies and senior academics frpm other academic institutions. External Examiners were appointed for both the General Management and Personnel Management courses. These appointinents were made after consultation with local professional bodies. They will assist considerably in developing and maintaining the standards and recognition of the programmes concerned.

In the middle of September, two courses WORDSTAR (text editing package) and BASIS (Statistical package) were offered to members of the College. Both were 10-hovir courses. Hands-on facilities were provided.
The Computer Centre was instrumental in making College Admin- istrative work more efficient by computerizing both the enrolment system and the accounting system. In October 1983, the enrolment procedures were computerized for the Registrar. These included entering student enrolment forms, preparing blank pre-printed Mark Sheets, summary of students* Academic Results, Statistics of Examination Results, Diploma Programme Courses, Student List for Examination and Students' Academic Reports. The Accounting Package was implemented at the beginning of 1984.
FACULTY OF MUSIC
